Bill, there are two sizes of the Tripp Light Wrench. I do not have any in stock at this time. I see them go for 50 Dollars on e-bay as of late. If you are going to bid on one make sure you ask the seller for the measurement across the socket. This bolt is recessed and makes any other option other than the original just about impossible to use. Karl

Ed, ok, I have seen two listings on e-bay in recent weeks that have been fraud. The pictures were taken from a dealers site and bidding started at $1.00. They have both been discussed on the AACA site for those who do not get to that site. Both were pulled from e-bay before anyone was taken by the fraudulent sellers. I am sure others have not been so lucky! With time, I am sure your V12 in question will show up somewhere. If it’s too good to be true… Karl

Ed, This message helps no one or the Society. If a real car has been stolen, give us the info. Or… just what are you trying to share with the members with the above post? Karl

Mark, Congratulations on your purchase. This car ran great at Watkins Glenn Raceway a few years ago. I was passed by Milt coming out of the last corner, he was flying!! I think Ed M. scared a few people that day also! Karl

Richard, no coolant in there. Be sure to make a foam or cork to keep the heat in on the rod going towards the front. I am glad you can cross off one more item on the impossible to find parts list! Karl

Ralph,

From the left tool bar: under Member benefits, click on activities. Go down to PAS Annual Meets, click on future Annual Meets. Click on the 2020 Lancaster Meet. There you will find a link in blue for our Host Hotel. The Double tree by Hilton.

I am not old enough to have been at the 1963 Annual Meet, however it was held in Lancaster PA that year. Peter sent me the unused packet to register. The hotel rate was $7 single, $2 extra for each additional guest. Tour to see the Amish $4.60. (In 2020 we will see Amish everywhere, but not tour the Amish). Registration for judging was $3. If I get time, I will scan and share this early piece of our history. That host hotel, long row of rooms single level is gone, but many still exist on the north side of town in Ronks, Bird in Hand, and Intercourse. Most summer weekends they are sold out! The 1986 Meet was in Hershey. It has been a long time since the Meet has been in PA.

Ken, I will get some info for you for the 2019 AACA Fall Meet and start a Hershey thread for this topic.

Thanks Peter for the information on Arthur Chanter.

Another note about the PAS Library collection: The local Water Company’s new multi-million dollar building is less than a mile from my work place here in Mechanicsburg PA. They are moving into this new location during this Holiday week making the building purchased by AACA for its new Headquarters and Library available soon. Our PAS Library will be moving to its new location on Hershey Park Drive sometime in 2019.

I look forward to showing our members this facility as part of the 2020 PAS Meet. Karl

Craig, yes it looks like the who’s who’s were there for the unveiling of the “New Eight” at the Plaza Hotel. I do not recognize the name of the toast master. Maybe someone can tell us who he was to the Pierce arrow company. Karl

Jim Otto in Nashville , TN is a retired Sylphon engineer who still does Sylphon repair. Perhaps he can help. Give him a call 865-966-9494

Rick needs all this minus the cover, Karl

Rick, This Stat requires a plug in the one inch round hole to keep the heat at the stat. Without this plug the air temp will not open the stat well. You will have to fabricate a plug that fits tight and drill for the rod. I used a 1/2 thick piece of round cork and drilled a hole and used high temp grease at the shaft. But first you need the bellows and shaft. Karl
